Children like vibrant colours, and the brand shares this passion, that’s why the new community is extremely flamboyant and is soaked with bright and catchy tones. In fact, parents are those who are expected to bring their offspring to the new online destination, which is totally safe for kids from the informational point of view, and they are who register kids there (the number of kids from one family is limited to three children up to 12 years old).
